The Transfer Tavern

Fallen Serie A giants to DEFEAT Arsenal in transfer pursuit?

Metro have Chelsea fans looking up with glee on their faces here in the Football Transfer Tavern as they claim Arsenal could well miss out on Petr Cech.

The long serving Blues goalkeeper has been linked with the exit door at the club for some time after losing his place to Thibaut Courtois and it had been reported that a £7 million fee with Arsenal was set to be agreed.

Now as one of our punters notes over a pint, our resident Chelsea fans would not be too thrilled to see Cech go and play for one of their rivals.

However, given how settled the keeper is in London with his young family and the fact that he has been such a loyal servant for Chelsea, they were prepared to make an exception.

However, now it seems that fallen Serie A giants AC Milan also want to sign the Czech Republic international stopper.

We think that Jose Mourinho would be far more inclined to send Cech to the San Siro and maybe even bring Diego Lopez the other way as his new number two.

Chelsea fans. What did you make of the Arsenal Cech rumours? Surely the move was never going to come to fruition? Let us know your thoughts below.
